Teething Troubles? Soothe Your Baby's Sore Gums With SoothieBite™

Teething Troubles? 5 Ways to Soothe Your Baby's Sore Gums (Plus a Little Helper)

If your baby has suddenly turned into a drooling, fussy, chew-everything little human, welcome to teething. It's one of the most common milestones of the first year, and it can be tough on both of you.

The good news is that a few simple habits can make those sore-gum days easier. Here's what many parents find helpful.

How to Tell Your Baby Is Teething

Every baby is different, but common signs include:

• Extra drooling
• Chewing on hands, toys, or anything within reach
• Fussiness or crankiness, especially in the evening
• Sore, swollen, or tender gums
• Trouble settling at nap or bedtime

Teething often begins around 4 to 7 months, but it can start earlier or later. If your baby has a high fever, diarrhea, or seems very unwell, check with your pediatrician, as these are not typical teething symptoms.

5 Ways to Help Soothe Teething Discomfort

1. Offer something safe to chew.
Pressure on the gums can bring relief, so give your baby a clean, baby-safe teether to bite and gnaw on.

2. Try a gentle gum massage.
Wash your hands and use a clean finger to gently rub your baby's gums for a minute or two. Many babies enjoy the pressure and the attention.

3. Keep it cool, not frozen.
A slightly chilled (not frozen solid) teether can feel soothing on tender gums. Always follow the product's care instructions.

4. Wipe the drool.
Constant drool can irritate the chin and cheeks. Keep a soft cloth handy and gently pat the skin dry, not rub.

5. Add extra comfort.
Cuddles, a calming routine, and a bit of distraction (a song, a walk, a new toy) can go a long way when your little one is cranky.

Teething Safety Tips

• Always supervise your baby when using a teether.
• Check the teether regularly for wear and tear, and replace it if it's damaged.
• Don't tie teethers around your baby's neck.
• Clean it before first use and regularly afterward, following the product instructions.
• Avoid freezing a teether solid, as very hard, icy surfaces can hurt tender gums.
